Introduction Funballs is a simply but great logical game in which you have to try to reproduce a pattern made of balls. It uses 256 colours (MCGA) and plays Ad-Lib music. 1.2. About the money Funballs is a shareware product. (Don't jump to the next paragraph! ;-) So you must pay the "amazing" amount of 5 dollars if you found it worthy to play with. Please DON'T cheat us out, as we REALLY need that little money! (And we also would like to see if it's worth making a shareware proggy at all..) You may send (simply in an envelope) or transfer the money to St.AbcuGLS. (Addresses: see below!) All currencies are accepted, but HUF is preferred. In case you're very poor but would like to pay honesty, then send us some other fun thing (e.g. a CD, a cassette or simply a postcard with your greetings.. :) Thank you very much for your helpfull support! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1. System requirements This game will run on any XT (8086) compatible computer with a VGA video adaptor card and a mouse. The progam requires an MS-DOS 3.3 compatible operating system with 128K of free conventional memory. (So if you're brave enough, you may run it under Windows as well.. :-) Finally you should have an Ad-Lib or a Sound Blaster comp. sound card in order to hear the music. 2.2. Starting the game WARNING! Make sure that you have unzipped the package with the -d switch, unless the game won't work! Then run 'funballs.exe' from the main game directory. No setup is required. 2.3. Game description In Funballs your aim is to copy the pattern (made of balls) from the right side to the left. The rules are simple: you can put balls into the left grid. If any balls are situated over, under, on the left or on the right side of the field to which the ball has been put, those balls will grow. Obviously you cannot put another ball onto the top of an existing one. If you succeed to recreate the pattern, you will get 100 points + some time bonus. (..and will be threatened by the next level :-) Oh, I've almost forgotten: after every level you may buy a few retries for your score. (The price is 200 score - there's no bargain! :) If you've run out of retries, you will see the astonishing text: 'Game Over' As I remember there are 30 levels with increasing difficulty - so don't panic, it won't run out too fast! :) But you mustn't miss the fascinating end-sequence! From the intro-screen (with the high scores in the middle) you can start the game by either pressing a key or clicking the left mouse button. Pressing ESC there will let you leave the game. :-( While playing the following commands are available: - left mouse button: put down a ball - right mouse button: restart level (retries decrease) - ESC: go back to the intro-screen - S: turn sound on/off ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.1.

We're a demogroup, and were organized in 1992 on C-64 & C-Plus/4. We made a plenty of demos, games and utilities on those machines. But by 1994 every member has got a PC. The active PC-members are: Charles, Fieldtracer, MRC, St.AbcuGLS and UPC. For more details read our WWW-homepage. (See above!) After a long break (I mean a lamer-period.. :) this is our first 'serious' trying on this platform, and we hope that it won't end in failure. --- Written by Charles on 18th July 1995.
